Day out with Salmo!
After a phone call at 9:30pm on friday night saying there was a spare spot with salmo to fish the comp i jumped at the chance! We met up for the comp at 6am with everything we needed to have a good day out on the water. We left with great success and got straight into some good sized sambos on the bream gear and well as a decent bonito. We then moved to a couple of good dhuie spots that gave us plenty of good hookups which we dropped, with the last one salmo dropped broke his new custom made rod.....not happy at all, who wouldnt be?
We moved on to another spot which then i fell over on the boat landing flat on the anchor bollard!!! and yeah right on the bum cheek, man that hert! Two more good fished dropped and alittle tension was starting.lol.
We moved again getting into some good skippy ( the winning one) and some good sized pinks which were nailing the pink and ginger beer snapbacks fished off the bottom......also great fun on the bream gear.
We started the motor and what do ya know "NO STEERING" the nut that controls the steering ram came undone and with some great and deep thoughts salmo used the gaff as the new tiller steer! The side consol was just for the throttle control. Pretty funny cruising along flat out then the gaff pulls out sending the boat to a hard right turn and two guys nearlly swimming! Na not really but was funny.
All in all i was amazed with this guy "salmo" and his ability to get me onto some awsome fish in so shallow water! Shit i could use a kayak to get there. His knowledge of the area was outstanding and his fishing ability was second to none. With an few miss haps which made to day and some good fish which were even better. And a few beers added as well.
Thanks alot mate, i had a ball out on the water and cant wait to get the travelling tinnie out again one day! Great boat and great bloke.......cheers chirs.

Why did the rod snap dude? Stuff of nightmares ain't it... you stare at it without believing.
P.S. The RCS spool here was too ex$$ mate, so I didn't grab it for you. See you soon, would love to have shallow jigged those kind of spots.

Good read Chris, even thou I'm a little concerned about your ability to spell your own name... cheers chirs.
As for Salmo breaking rods/loosing them, don't think I know anyone that has a better strike rate for damaging them.
